I have a strange problem, which is so elementary that I think I must be missing something...
In GTK2HS, when I draw text using using textPath, the text is located at different locations depending on which backend is used. I'm not talking about a difference of a couple of pixels , but in my case it's half a page off. The PNG and Win32 backend work fine, but the PDF/PS backends get it wrong.
For example, I modified the Text.hs demo in the demos/Cairo subdirectory so it also outputs PDF. Here the text is also at different locations, so I guess it's not just my code. Code is pasted below.
I'm using Windows, and GTK2HS version 0.9.12 from http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs
Maybe someone could give this a quick test on Linux?
I guess this is most likely a Cairo problem, and has nothing to do with the Haskell wrapper? Still this is hard to believe, since these kinds of bugs would be quickly found.
Yes, I get the same. It works fine on Linux and the text has the wrong position on Windows. I'm doing a new Gtk2Hs build soon for compatibility with ghc-6.8 and I can try with a more recent version of cairo then and see if the bug has been fixed. Duncan
